Short answer: Trat is mostly a stop on the way to Koh Chang, Koh Kood and Koh Mak. To sleep on the mainland before the boat, stay in Trat town — a small, genuinely Thai town with a night market and cheap guesthouses; closer to sailing time, base near the piers (Laem Ngop / Laem Sok). With time, it is best to cross and stay on the islands.
